Answer:

The final depth of Melissa is 14 meters below the surface

Step-by-step explanation:

In this kind of problems, involving directions, etc, usually one position is the positive direction and the other position is the negative direction.

In our problem, we suppose that the surface is the positivo zero, above the surface is the positive position(positive depth) and below the surface is the negative directions(negative depth).

The problem states that Melissa is 29 meters below the surface. So, her initial position is 29 meters in the negative direction, so it is equal to -29.

Then, the problem states that Melissa rises upward 15 meters. Upward is the positive direction, so she moved to the positive direction. It means that we are going to do -29+15 = -14 meters.

It means that the final depth of Melissa is 14 meters below the surface

Gennadij [26K]

An error was made, correlation values can't be greater than 1.00.

The strength of the linear association between two variables is quantified by the correlation coefficient. The correlation coefficient always takes a value between -1 and 1. The 1 represents the perfect positive correlation and -1 represents the perfect negative correlation whereas the 0 represents the no correlation between two variables.

So, if the value of the correlation coefficient between shoe size and IQ is r = +1.99 then,

Analysts in some fields do not consider a correlation significant until the value is at least 0.8. However, a correlation coefficient with an absolute value of 0.9 or greater indicates a very strong relationship. 2.
